Windows open in reduced size ?

[Bill]

I am unable to setup various apps. to open
as Maximized, IE.,System Info., Windows Explorer.
I've tried right clicking-properties-the shortcut tab
, and Run MAX. It will not work. cannot find anything in
KB.

Hi KB

Try this:

Open a window and drag it to the size you want - do not maximize it. Then,
holding down the Ctrl key close that window by clicking on the X in the top
right hand corner.

I've often pondered that one myself, Will, but that only makes 'full screen'
stick in the 'Restore Down' view, not 'maximised'.

Hi

I've found that Run>Maximised should over-ride the 'Drag + Ctrl-X' settings.
Returning to Run>Normal opens at the last setting of 'Drag + Ctrl-X'. There
are some windows that I prefer to run a 1/4 screen size, so use 'Drag +
Ctrl-X'. Full Screen, Maximised!?
